Roger Federer completed a record-breaking win at Roland Garros on Friday, reaching the fourth round for the 12th time. It bettered the record set by Guillermo Vilas, the 1977 champion, who reached the Last 16 on 11 occasions.

"At the start of my career, clay was not my favourite surface," said
Federer. "I got my best results in indoor courts or hard courts, so
people thought at that time that I was only a fast-court player. But
that's not the case, so I'm very happy with this record, and I'm
enjoying it."

Fourth seed and 2009 champion Federer extended his record to 5-0 against No. 31 seed Dmitry Tursunov
with a 7-5, 6-7(7), 6-2, 6-4 victory in three hours and seven minutes.
He is now three match wins shy of 200 clay-court victories (197-60
overall).

Tursunov saved three set points from 0/40 at 5-6 in the second set,
before going on to seal the tie-break. He led 4/1 in the tie-break and
missed a backhand down the line at 6/5. Federer did not convert a set
point opportunity at 7/6, before Tursunov levelled at one-set all at 8/7
with a forehand winner.

"It was tough to lose the second set but nice to win the match," said
32-year-old Federer, who is contesting his 58th straight Grand Slam.

"It was not a straightforward win. I knew Dmitry would try different
things, take big cuts at the ball but I am pleased to have played
solid."

"After three rounds, I have got all the information," Federer told a news conference.

"Today it was a tough match, I had to defend well because he was a very
aggressive player. Against a previous player it was a matter of getting
in the groove.

"The first
round was quite okay, but I've got my bearings now, my landmarks on
court. I know what are my assets, what are my weaknesses. Serve, return,
that's quite okay."

Tursunov called it a "fairly even battle" prior to suffering a groin
injury after the changeover of the second set. "Good for him that he was
able to figure out what bothers me and kind of build his game plan
around that," he said. "He's a tough player to play against when you're
healthy, so definitely makes thing a little bit tougher."

Federer, who reached the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters final (l. to Wawrinka) last month, will now compete against No. 18 seed Ernests Gulbis
on a clay court for a third time. Federer leads their Head to Head series 2-1. Gulbis won one of their 2010 clay meetings, 2-6,
6-1, 7-5, at the Rome Masters.

"Clearly he has to be confident after winning a tournament last week and
now backing it up again here this week and cruising through, really,"
said Federer. "I'm aware of the challenge ahead of me, and difficult
match I think because I have had some tough matches with him in the
past."

"He has a great serve and he's
very enterprising on the second serve. His backhand is very simple. It
works well with a lot of power," Federer said of the 18th seed.

"He's able to hit the backhand above his shoulders, so he's a very good
player. Year after year he moves better on court. I think that he is
more determined. He has a great game, and he can do lots of great
things, thanks to his game."

Gulbis will be appearing in a
fourth round for the first time in 22 majors and insists he already has a
game plan to tackle the Swiss star.

"You
don't need to be scared to do certain things against him, because most
of the people they go on the court and they lose already before it has
started," said the 18th seed. "I can tell you that's not gonna be the
case with me."
